Important safety information
Before starting the installation read the safety instructions and manual carefully.
Qualified installers
This lift system is a professional machine and may only be installed and serviced
by qualified installers.
Transportation blocks
For your own safety and in order to prevent the lift from being damaged, leave
the transportation blocks in place until the lift is completely installed.
Strength of the ceiling
Ensure that the ceiling is constructed in such a way that it can bear a load of at
least four times the combined weight of the lift and the projector. This is a
minimum requirement. In addition, make sure that you comply with local
regulations.
First install and test the lift system, than mount the projector and
options
Only mount the projector, the ceiling cover and/or other items to the lift system
after the lift has been installed and tested.
CAUTION!
Use the No-Movement switch when working on the lift system
To prevent serious injury by a moving lift system during installation or
maintenance, always turn off the power and/or use the NO MOVEMENT switch
on the side of the control box.
When programming or operating the lift system the operator should have sight
over the lift system.
Warranty
2 years on production defects.

1 Installation of the lift system
1.1 Mounting, height positioning and horizontal positioning
Use “strut” profiles and treaded rods for the installation of the lift system.
2
1
For easy horizontal positioning use “strut” profiles (1). (not included)
IMPORTANT
The top/home position of the lift systems is fixed (not programmable). For easy
positioning the lift system on a false ceiling level use treaded rods (2) (not included).
See chapter 1.1 for determining the exact height.
PPL 1515 has a LIMITED adjustment of the top/home position by the top/home end
switch. This is easy for the final exact positioning. See chapter 1.4
1.1 Determining the installation height of the lift system
When the lift system is used in combination with a false ceiling the lift system must be
installed just above the false ceiling level. This is easy to do with treated rods.
The example below shows how to determine the correct installation height:
Example:
50 cm space between structural ceiling and false ceiling (A+B)
Calculation:
18 cm – minimum height of the lift including universal projector bracket
+
14 cm – maximum height of the projector (example)
+
3 cm – ventilation space between projector and false ceiling panel
=
35 cm – installation height required (A)

1.8 Home position, fine adjustment
When the lift is completely operational it may be necessary to do some fine adjustments
on the home position. This may be the case when the lift is used in combination with a
false ceiling and an exact closing position is needed.
PPL 1515
By adjusting the screw of the striker plate as shown in the photo (PPL 1515), the home
position of the lift system can be adjusted in a range of 10 cm. Determine the home
position by experimenting and correct it if necessary.
ATTENTION
Do NOT change the position of the lowest limit/position switch, which looks similar. Red-
blocked circle in picture.
PPL 2525
With PPL 2525 fine adjustment is possible by bending the micro switch arm a bit.
PPL 3535
Fine adjustment is not possible

4. 12VDC Out
5. 12V In
Remote 1 and 2 (9-pin connectors)
Remote 1 and 2 are two parallel connectors for controlling all functions of the lift system
by switching 5V to ground. Use these connectors for automation systems as Crestron,
AMX, etc. for wall switches or for the optional infra red kit PPA 360.
ATTENTION only connect voltage free switches., do not connect 220-230 !!
AC Trigger (3,5mm jack)
Gives 12V out to control eg. the AC power of the projector. The moment of
12V can be set via the DIP switches 1 and 2, see page 16. (moment = lift starts or stops
moving)
12 VDC Out (3,5mm jack)
Gives 12V out to control an electric projection screen. The moment of 12V
can be set via the DIP switches 3 and 4, see page 16. (moment = lift starts or stops

3.1 Connecting an automation/control system to Remote 1 or 2
The lift can easily be connected to automations systems as Creston, AMX, and others.
oUse the special External control connector (included).
oFor the cable connections see Annex 1 on the next page.
oMaximum length of cable:
o0,35mm² (shielded) up to 30m.
o0,50mm² (shielded) up to 150m.
Let a control system relay make contact for ½ a second and then break contact.
(Momentary 1/2 second contact mode.)
All functions can be remote controlled, however Up, Down, Stop are most used.
Warning:
To prevent unauthorised operation of specific functions we strongly recommend to
program functions as Service position, Manual mode and Emergency mode on hidden or
pass word protected pages. (when using automations systems)

4 Problem solving
Clearing errors (stop LED flashing)
To delete errors from the memory, press and hold in the STOP button for 10 seconds
and then release it. If the same error occurs, refer to the troubleshooting diagram in
Annex 2.
LED blinks continuously
The no-movement switch is ON position, switch to OFF/Normal position.
LED blinks 3, 4, 5 times
These are uncommon indications, see the trouble shooting chart.
LED blinks 6 times
The cable safety sensor has been activated.
The cable sensor will be activated when the steel cables
make contact with the cable safety sensor. The lift will
stop to prevent that the cables will wind uncontrolled of
the cable drum.
Most possible causes:
oThe lift system is blocked by something.
oThe transport plates are not removed.
oLift system is not levelled.
oOne of the steel cables is not in the slot holes
of the descending platform and causing a
mis-balance.
Solve the problem:
1. Solve the cause, see above.
2. Press and hold the STOP button for 10 seconds to clear the error from the
memory.
3. The lift should work again now.
Lift system manual
Page 19
LED blinks 7 times
The lowest limit switch has been activated.
To prevent that the lift cables rewind in opposite direction when the lift for some reason
would pass its very lowest position (below the service position), there is a lowest limit
safety switch. When this switch is activated the lift completely blocks. None of the
buttons on the remote control will work anymore. The LED will blink 7 times.
Most possible cause:
oThe lowest limit switch has been adjusted by accident.
Solve the problem:
1. To ascend the lift and de-activate the lowest limit switch use the emergency ode.
Emergency mode:
oOpen the back of the wired remote control ( is low voltage, no danger)
oPush STOP for 10 seconds > LED will stop blinking
oPush the “hidden” emergency button + UP > lift will go up again, de-activating
the lowest limit switch
oClose wired remote control
2. Check if the lowest limit switch is set okay, app. 3 cm above the lowest point.
3. If this keeps causing problems call your importer for the electronic lowest limit
reset procedure.
